How much plastidip did it take to do the removable top and the "hoop"?

Thanks, I had a shop wrap the rear bumper and halo in 3m gloss black vinyl.

Thanks man. I'm really happy with how it came together. I got the side skirts from C7 carbon. I liked that theirs came with a splash guard piece for in front of the rear wheels. And, I'm running OEM C6 GS rims, which are a bit wider, so splash guards were needed.. The GS rims were re-finished in black chrome.

I lowered it on Stance coil overs. Been pretty happy with the ride so far. But, I'm going to have to raise the rears a couple turns and probably stiffen the damper by another click and put some negative camber on one of the tires to try and tuck it in a little better. I'm rubbing the fender on dips on the driver's side.
